Testimony given on 08/22/17 to New York City’s Department of City Planning regarding the proposed East Harlem Rezoning. CIVITAS feels that the current plan being proposed by HPD does not follow the suggestions given by the East Harlem Neighborhood plan, and concentrates density and height too heavily along East Harlem’s commercial corridors. Overall, CIVITAS proposes a slight upzoning overall across the neighborhood to trigger affordable housing requirements.
